A Night At The Garden: Trump Slammed For Nazi-like Rally At MSG
When Trump announced recently that he would be holding a rally in the cavernous Madison Square Garden on October 27 it had many scratching their heads. Why would he hold a rally in such a large arena in a state he won't even be competitive in? They should not have been surprised at all. Back in April, Trump teased the event, saying "We're going to be doing a rally at Madison Square Garden, we believe," Trump said at the time. "We think we're signing Madison Square Garden to do. We're going to have a big rally honoring the police, and honoring the firemen, and everybody. Honoring a lot of people, including teachers by the way. We'll be honoring the people that make New York work," Trump said.
Well it didn't long for people to make the historical connection with an infamous Nazi rally held in 1939 at Madison Square Garden. It was also draped in patriotism and other symbols of nationalism that seem on the surface innocuous enough but underneath are sinister. And Trump's rally promises to be eerily similar the earlier one. We probably won't see any swastikas but we will hear the same America First/White Nationalism rhetoric we heard then.
